Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership of scientists and practitioners called the Shorebird Science and Conservation Collec...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...

Visuo-vestibular integration for self-motion: human cortical area V6 prefers forward and congruent stimuliNARA Subscribed
The integration of visual and vestibular input is crucial for self-motion. Information from both sensory systems merges early in the central nervous system. Among the numerous cortical areas involved in processing this information, some (V6 and the ventral intraparietal area –VIP) respond specifically to vestibular anteroposterior information. A series of experiments were carried out to further understand the involvement of th...
Management of groundwater resources in the coastal aquifers of the Magdalen Islands (Canada) using decision support modelsNARA Subscribed
Freshwater resources are scarce on islands surrounded by seawater, where groundwater lenses are often the only sources of fresh water. These resources are highly sensitive to climate variability and human activities, requiring specialized management approaches. Here, groundwater flow models that account for climate and parameter uncertainty are used to guide groundwater resource management on the Magdalen Islands (Quebec, Cana...
